Finally - assuming that all of this is ABSOLUTELY the same on ailerons, even if only one servo connected per side???
Yep, it's the same for all surfaces.

You can even do this on the throttle. It's much easier as all you really need to worry about is the connection points on each arm. If the throttle rod is connected on the engine at 1 inch from the center, then connect the rod at the servo end 1 inch from the center. You'll end up with a linear throttle but I still use curves for the inevitable gas engine power band issues. IE...full power at half of the throttle butterfly movement.

What you are going to end up seeing is both of those fine Yaks are going to roll much more axial once you get the ailerons done and hard pulls into the vertical will be exactly that, the elevators will be in sync and the plane will transition easily.

If you have any aileron differential in the radio, remember remove it before you go to work on the aileron linkages
